Holdie

Today we have an appointment with a pediatric surgeon. Before Holden turned 1, we noticed a sweet little freckle where we parted his hair. When he started getting more hair, we started parting it on the other side and only saw the freckle at bathtime. Before his second birthday, we noticed it quickly changing. With my history, I quickly took Holden to the pediatrician and he gave us the names of two pediatric dermatologists. When I called, neither one of them could get us in until the summer. I knew we didn't want to wait that long, so I took him into my dermatologist. She didn't hesitate in saying that it needed to be removed for peace of mind, at least. Since he's still so little and it could potentially be a tramatic experience for him if we took it out in the office, she decided to send us on to a pediatric surgeon. So, our consultation is today. Hopefully we'll get a quick surgery date.

He's such a sweet little boy. Yesterday he said, "That's a smart looking mustache." I'm not sure where he got that...

So glad you guys are able to take care of it so fast. I am sure it will all go smoothly. It will be nice to know it's gone and you won't have to worry about it anymore! Let me know when the date is and I'll say some prayers for that smart little boy!

Praying all goes well. Keep us updated! That boy is so funny--don't you just love what comes out of their mouths? Well, most of the time, right? The other day Kate was jabbering to Ellie (who was jabbering back) and when Jon went in to get the up, Kate said, Daddy, I'm speakin' Ellie's language. :)
